	Small turbo I’m looking for a bit of help or even just some idea’s, I fancy fitting a small turbo to a 170cc 4 stroke scooter engine. So far I’ve found this one on ebay………… cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=170257086439&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=007 I though this would do at first but after a bit more research found that this particular one is cooled by both oil and water, seeing as the 170cc engine is air cooled I really need a turbo that’s oil cooled only. I’ve investigated some small car turbos such as a smart car turbo but its part of the manifold so is no good to me. Anyone got any good suggestions?

	You don't need to use the water side of the turbo mate... just leave the ports open, it'll work fine. ;D

	All I can add is a vague memory of turbo pulse wave problems on single cylinder engines and a pic for inspiration. Edited because I remembered this one www.theturboforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=105114.0 Part 2 www.theturboforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=115334.msg1124676

	Could you not cut the manifold off the smart's turbo?

	I don't know how youre going to do this.... The Smart turbo is a garrett GT12 , the Smart engine is about the smallest its used on (normally you find these on oldish 1.0-1.6 litre non-VNT diesel engines). Your 170cc engine is about a tenth the size of the engines normally used, what engine speed does it run at? even if its twice normal 'car engine speed' this turbo is going to be hugely oversized, the mass flow through your engine at full chat will be barely enough to wake it up.

	t does, but only because it affects the mass flow which along with the boost pressure required, are the two key factors in choosing your turbo (compressor side). VE is variable from one engine to another, but the effect of VE on the mass flow is negligible compared to the effect of going from a 1700cc engine to a 170cc engine.

	think it is supercharged, off to have a google. Peugeot jet force 20 bhp from 125cc. www.elsberg-tuning.dk/the%20bikes.html this guy how ever is the daddy, loads of info supercharger is too big? just gear it down. he lists these as options The smog pump - cheap and plentiful. Used on automobile engines since late sixties. The Aisin AMR300. From Subaru Kei- car - 660cc supercharged citycar. The KF Max10- 25. American aftermarket blower. The Hansen V12. Made especially for supercharging Kart- engines from 5- 20hp my google-fu is strong too night.

	I think the bike you’re talking about is the Peugeot Jet force Compressor, would be a nice engine swop but way to much work converting the GY6 engine to run a pug charger. I’ve heard there are company’s in the USA who can supply turbo kits for 110-250cc pit bikes but I’m yet to find one. A few pics of the Pug………..

	That's the one I was thinking of. I wonder if you PM Norm "BlitzRacing" to see if he can point you in the right direction. He knows a lot, and works in racing circles, so my know a tuner just by chance. Good luck anyway. Looks interesting , if not challenging.
